To load Thermal Transfer Ribbon at each print station:
Fully seat a roll of coated-side-in ribbon on the print station’s Supply Mandrel. You
will feel resistance as the spring clip on the mandrel secures the roll. Ensure that
the ribbon unwinds to the right and under the roll.
Fully seat an empty cardboard takeup core on the associated Rewind Mandrel.
Flip the Print Station Lift Lever lever counterclockwise to open the printhead.
Thread the ribbon over the ribbon guide roller located closest to the Rewind Man-
drel, then downward towards the print station.
Thread the ribbon around the lower print station ribbon guide roller and under the
print station.
Continue to thread the ribbon up around the front edge of the printhead then
between the ribbon guide roller at the front of the print station and the anti-static
brush support shaft.
Finally, wrap the ribbon up and over the empty takeup core. Secure the end of the
ribbon with a small piece of adhesive tape.
Turn the ribbon rewind knob clockwise to take up any slack in the ribbon.
Flip the Print Station Lift Lever clockwise to close the printhead.
Repeat this process to install ribbon on each of the print stations.
